The deadline for submitting an EEO-1 report for 2021 is May 17, 2022.
The Details
The EEO-1 is a report through which covered employers must submit demographic workforce data, including data by race/ethnicity, sex, and job categories, to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). An EEO-1 report is required for:
- All private sector employers with 100 or more employees.
- Federal contractors with 50 or more employees and contracts of $50,000 or more.
Note: Some states, such as California and Illinois, have their own reporting requirements as well.
Changes for 2021 EEO-1 Reports:
The EEOC is discontinuing the EEO-1 Type 6 Report for reporting establishments with fewer than 50 employees (for multi-establishment employers). Impacted employers should use the Type 8 Report instead. In the past, multi-establishment employers were permitted to submit either a Type 8 Report or a Type 6 Report for an establishment with fewer than 50 employees.
The EEOC is also implementing new procedures for the reporting of client employer data by Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs), Administrative Services Organizations (ASOs), Human Resource Outsourcing organizations (HROs), and similar organizations that choose to file on behalf of eligible client employers under third-party agreements. Details on these changes can be found here.
Next Steps:
If you are covered by the EEO-1 requirement:
- Monitor the reporting portal for updates, instructions, and resource materials from the EEOC.
- Prepare to submit your EEO-1 by the May 17, 2022 deadline.
